So I tried to get into the computer lab on Thursday. Fern Glass let me in. I got in the computer, but Auralia was grey and wouldn't do anything when I clicked on it. I tried to get to it different ways and I tried 4 other computers in the room. They didn't have Auralia. So anyways. Today, Saturday the 16th I went over the rythyms on pg. 153. I went over the 2nd exercise we had worked on in class. It was a 4:2 measure. Took me awhile to figure it out. My mind kept spacing it out because it didn't want to deal with a 4:2 meter. Then I broke it down. I compared it to a 4:4 meter and a 2:4 meter. I got the first line down. It wasn't very complicated. The second line stumped me a bit . I only got through the first 2 measures. But I got them. down. I could stomp and clap those rythyms anytime., and I'll got over the 4:2 meter again next time that I practice. I played some harmonic scales after that, A, and D. I think my ear is starting to be able to hear the difference between harmonic and nat. minor. Sadly though, harmonic is what sounds right in my ear, and not natural. I pracitced about 25 minutes.
